70 x 70 cm Dropping Board

Product Overview

The 70 x 70 cm dropping board is a square manure collection tray made for square-bottomed layer and breeder cages, where a square tray sits more neatly than a rectangle. Its outer footprint measures about 69 cm by 69 cm, covering the cage floor with a small margin, and the 20 mm raised rim keeps droppings on the tray during pull-out cleaning. The square shape means there are no uncovered corners where droppings could land outside the tray.

The board is produced in white, red and black with weight differences by color: white 1000 g, red 1080 g and black 1280 g. The underside carries a diagonal rib pattern plus a square grid that stiffens the wide sheet, so the tray stays flat as it slides out from under the cage. The uniform footprint also lets spares drop into place without orientation concerns. The symmetric shape also makes it easy to slide in from either side of the cage row. That flexibility helps in rows where access is tight on one side. Two-way access keeps cleaning crews moving without turning trays around. Not turning trays around also saves time on long cleaning walks. Saved time adds up across a whole battery house.

Key Features and Benefits

• Square 70 x 70 cm shape - matches square cage bases without overhang on either side.

• 20 mm raised rim - contains droppings and limits spillage during pull-out cleaning.

• Diagonal rib bracing - the underside cross-brace stops the large flat sheet from sagging.

• Three color versions - white, red and black with transparent weight differences listed on the label.

• Smooth flat top - quick to hose after each cleaning cycle in long rows of cages.

• Standardized sizing - same footprint for spares, so replacements install without adjustment.

Materials and Quality

This square board is molded from rigid plastic, and the diagonal rib pattern on the underside is designed to distribute load across the large flat surface. Production checks confirm the 69 cm outer measurement and the 20 mm rim before packing, and color weights are verified against the printed values, so farms ordering spares receive trays that match their installed set. The even rim around all four sides keeps the tray level on cage rails. The 20 mm rim is low enough that pull-out does not catch on the cage frame.

How to Use and Maintain

Slide the board under the cage so all four rim edges tuck inside the frame. On cleaning day, pull it out, scrape the manure off the flat surface, hose it clean, and slide it back. Check the corner joints seasonally for cracks, and keep a few spare boards on hand so a broken tray does not stop the whole cleaning round. Because the tray is square, rotate spare boards occasionally to spread wear evenly across corners. Scrape the flat surface in one sweep, since the square grid on top gives manure a smooth base. The square pattern on top also gives the tray a structured, rigid surface during use. The grid also helps water drain off during wash-down. Faster drying reduces standing water under the cages. Less standing water supports drier litter and better air quality.

Applications

The square shape suits square breeder cages, individual laying pens and small experimental cages where a rectangular tray would leave uncovered corners. It also fits chick starter batteries that need a rigid manure floor below the mesh, keeping young birds dry and clean between flocks.

Dealers recommend it when customers build custom square cage arrays, since the symmetric tray works from any slide direction. Mixed orders often combine it with rectangular boards for sheds that hold several cage models, and research stations favor it for its predictable footprint in test pens. Breeder farms also favor it where square nest boxes share rails with laying cages. Symmetric trays simplify rack layout when designing new breeder houses. Planning trays early avoids later frame modification costs. Early planning keeps new house budgets predictable. Predictable budgets make project planning easier for farms. Early tray selection also avoids rework after the house frame is built. Avoiding rework keeps installation teams on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why a square tray instead of rectangular?

Square cages leave uncovered corners when fitted with rectangular boards; this 70 x 70 cm tray covers the full square footprint.

Q2: What are the measured dimensions?

The outer footprint is about 69 cm x 69 cm with a 20 mm rim, labeled as 70 x 70 cm.

Q3: Which colors are in the range?

White 1000 g, red 1080 g and black 1280 g, all sharing the same square tray dimensions.

Q4: How is the underside reinforced?

A diagonal rib brace plus square grid on the bottom stiffens the sheet against sag when pulled out loaded. The diagonal brace in the middle is the key stiffening feature, keeping the wide sheet flat.
